Description

Workaround

The VMware Distributed vSwitch driver depends on a newer Java library that is present in CWNCM version 1.6.3.

Other versions must have the latest vim25.jar file (available from VMware) copied to <system install directory>\server\ext\jboss\server\default\lib for this driver to be functional.

The Driver Discovery using CLI for Motorola BSR 2000 fails.

This problem will be resolved in the upcoming driver pack.

The session log for the CLI driver Discovery for ACME NN9200 shows Vendor name as Nortel.

This problem would be resolved in the upcoming driver pack.

The driver support for Nexus 5k/1k [Nexus5000.rdp] and Nexus 7k [CiscoNexus.rdp] devices have been consolidated into a single driver package - CiscoNexus.rdp. The driver installer does not remove the existing Nexus5000.rdp file or reassign devices to use the new driver.

The Nexus5000.rdp file resident inThe Driver Discovery via CLI for Motorola BSR 2000 fails install_directory/server/lib/drivers should be manually removed, and all affected devices should be rediscovered. CiscoWorks NCM will assign the consolidated driver upon correct discovery.

The driver support for Blade Network Technologies Rack Switch G8000 [EXT_BNT_RackSwitch_G8000.rdp] and Rack Switch G8124 [EXT_BNT_RackSwitch_G8124.rdp] have been consolidated into a single driver package - EXT_BNT_RackSwitch.rdp. The driver installer does not remove the existing EXT_BNT_RackSwitch_G8000.rdp and EXT_BNT_RackSwitch_G8124.rdp files or reassign devices to use the new driver.

The files (EXT_BNT_RackSwitch_G8000.rdp & EXT_BNT_RackSwitch_G8124.rdp) resident in install_directory/server/lib/drivers should be manually removed, and all affected devices should be rediscovered. CiscoWorks NCM will assign the consolidated driver upon correct discovery.

Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) series standalone or administration context devices: First discovery task fails after adding the device. However, the second discovery task will succeed.

Either re-run the task or assign the driver to the device.
